These need to target the files under .sync/containers. https://github.com/microsoft/mu_devops/tree/main/.sync/containers the Container files are synced through a github action so that the GCC version and other things are pulled from version.njk |
Add gcc-multilib to .sync/containers/ Nunjucks templates for both Ubuntu-22 and Ubuntu-24 images. This provides 32-bit glibc headers required for IA32 (-m32) builds with GCC. The container images already install cross-compilation toolchains for ARM, AArch64, and RISC-V but lack the 32-bit x86 equivalent. On x86_64 hosts, compiling for IA32 uses the native GCC with -m32, which requires the multilib package for 32-bit headers and libraries.

AGESA's IdsIdGen.pl uses XML::Simple and XML::Parser to generate header files (e.g. IdsNvIdWH.h) at build time. Without these Perl modules, CBS library compilation fails with missing headers.

## Description Reverts the Ubuntu-22 Dockerfile changes from #572. These packages (gcc-multilib, g++-multilib, libxml-parser-perl, libxml-simple-perl) are only needed for the Ubuntu-24 container image. **Why revert Ubuntu-22:** - No known consumer uses Ubuntu-22 for IA32 cross-compilation - The multilib packages conflict with \gcc-12-x86-64-linux-gnux32\ causing a failure with exit code 100 - The Perl XML modules were added for AGESA CBS header generation which only runs in the Ubuntu-24 pipeline ## Changes - Removes \libxml-parser-perl\ and \libxml-simple-perl\ from Ubuntu-22 Dockerfile template - Removes \g++-\-multilib\ and \gcc-\-multilib\ from Ubuntu-22 Dockerfile template ## Testing Ubuntu-24 container is unaffected (retains all additions from #572).

Description
The Ubuntu-22 and Ubuntu-24 build container templates (.sync/containers/) are missing several packages required for IA32 cross-compilation and AGESA firmware builds.
Problem
IA32 builds fail with atal error: bits/libc-header-start.h: No such file or directory
AGESA CBS builds fail with atal error: IdsNvIdWH.h: No such file or directory
Root Cause
The container images already install cross-compilation toolchains for ARM, AArch64, and RISC-V architectures, but lack:
Changes
Added to .sync/containers/Ubuntu-22/Dockerfile and .sync/containers/Ubuntu-24/Dockerfile:
Testing
Validated against a Project MU AMD platform build targeting IA32+X64 architectures with TOOL_CHAIN_TAG=GCC. Without these packages:
